Yeah, I heard through the omnipotent grapevine (or the proverbial chain of command...) that our unit (and I can only assume the Lorne Scots) are going tactical for the 10 days, unlike last year, where our hooches were stationary and we had defensive positions. Its my understanding that we are...

Don't wear them. People might say wear bigger socks to compensate, but the WWB have a tendency to really stretch, making your problem even worse. Nothing worse than wearing ill fitting boots for months on end. I did for two months (half size too big), and my feet paid the price. So, what you...

Even untrained and irregular combatants such as the Taliban would be / are often wise enough to steer clear from an armoured column when only possessing SA firepower and lacking rocket propelled grenades or rockets. This would likely mean that the attacks faced by Canadian Forces personnel with...

Precisely what a_majoor said. Not using the Canadian Forces as an example, because we lack the sheer weight of ordnance that many nations such as the United States maintains, or the Russians for that matter, it can be summed up that artillery will continue to play a pivotal role. Drones cannot...

There is quite good support for this guy to stay. I had a conversation, which eventually turned into an argument about the deserters, and the commie campuses (in Toronto at least) circle leaflets and petitions to have him stay in Canada, and support resisting the war. I found it quite...

Sounds like a good piece of equipment. My next question is, what happens where there are multiple targets, or I should say, engaging forces? Will the system be able to identify them each separately and independently, or is there a certain extent to which it would get muddled and bogged down in...

Hey, hey now. I can bet money, that in all your years, you have heard more stupid questions, or opinions than those displayed here. And besides, why does it matter if a question is pertinent? I don't think life experience has anything to do with that. I wasn't aware that Radio Chatter...

Ah, good old ogrish.com. Certainly one of the more..."scenic"...sites on the Web.

I experienced the same things with the black liner socks. Not a fan of them. I just end up wearing thick white / grey soled socks, with the green ones on top when wearing the WWB.

Sean, you got a thing for the bad boys, eh?  ;)

My question is, if the system was designed for urban and open areas, does that mean it would not be as effective when trying to pinpoint trajectories in mountainous areas, like much of Afghanistan ends up being? I realize that there won't be Coyotes in the mountains per se, but I wonder (along...

No, apparently not. The SR-71 yes, due to expense I believe, but the U2 still flies. Much higher altitudes than other recon planes utilized by the United States Air Force as far as I know.

Question kind of comes out of nowhere really... I am thinking about building my own chin up bar and supports somewhere inside / outside of the house. There are a couple ideas I have, namely building one in the backyard, near the house, downstairs in the basement, with a support base, or just...

US spy plane crashes in Asia, pilot dead A US Air Force U-2 spy plane has crashed in south-west Asia killing its pilot, the military said in a statement released in Baghdad. "The pilot completed flying a mission in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (in Afghanistan) and was returning to...

Found another video, same site, same idea. Enjoy. http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=yougotownedwmv

The question came up at a recent...uhm...social gathering of the non-alcoholic nature  ;) ...and, it caused some thinking. After you [insert own witty comment], how do you get your pants on? Well? Button then zipper would be my choice.

It does indeed. Ceremonial, perhaps? Too bad we don't have more info from the site.

We talkin' the good ole' forge the crappy military ID we are given when we enlist? I suspect so. ;D

It is most certainly not the same. The willing Palestinian that puts himself in the nightclub to kill as many civilians as possible is completely different to what the Israelis would be trying to accomplish. They are not setting out to create terror and dissent amongst the population...that...

It LOOKS like CADPAT, but maybe I'm off. The gun looks like an AT gun, but like I just said...I could be wrong. But yes, either way, it does look like an accidental discharge. Then again, I'm not a gunner.
